panels. Often by 9 O'Clock he mas dis
posed of his mail and is ready to receive
callers.
And he IS accessible to every one. His
office Is his real home, though he has so
many. The popular idea OF Whitney
seems to be that he IS Il society man and
thinks more of dinner and ball than ne
does Of his public duties. One has but
to see him at the department to abandon
this idea. l called st the Secretary's
door where two men sat and asked if
could see him. Certainly; walk in"
was the response, little to my amaze
ment. l was ushered into the long room,
apartment rather, | should say, 100 feet
long by twenty five feet wide, elegantly but
appropriately furnished. On the walls
hung portraits of previous secretaries
and naval officers; on sofas and chairs
sat gentlemen waiting to see the Secre-
tarY, who, at the further end of the room
st desk, perhaps five feet high, sat chat
ting with q caller. There was no form,
no ceremony. Everyone was greeted as
he entered, talked with Immediately and
bowed out eXpeditiously. In room
further back is a long table, with the air
and furniture of q private office, to which
the Secretary retires when be wishes
to have a conference Of more personal
or individual nature. His custom is 70
see every caller who comes within certain
hours, no matter what his business may
be, on the ground that if a citizen takes
or feels sufficient interest in matter,
personal or public, to come with it in
person he should be treated with cOnsid
Grafton and courtesy. 1t seems q pity
that some of his colleagues in the Cabi-
net would not follow his example.
About o'clock Mr.. Whitney leaves his
Office. A saddle horse invariably stands
awaiting him and he rides for az hour or
two, rain, hail or shine. Then he goes
home and spends another hour or two wiz :.
his family. His wife is perfect hostess
in presiding over the princely social en-
tertainments Of her husband. She is a
wOmsn of warm affections and great
| kindness. She is g blonde, Of medium
stature, graceful and engaging in cOnVer-
sation. Her family, until recently, con-
sisted of daughter of thirteen and two
| boys, who are all at school. Recently
there was an addition. She Was
| christened two weeks ago.

THE WASHINGTON MANSION.

of the city. 1t is pretty place, low,
cool house, with wide porches over which
the vines climb and in the caves the spar
rows build their nests. Just the place
for regeneration after the winter cam-
paign. The house is not more than three
quarters of a mile from Oak View, the
Presidents rural retreat, and no DOUBT
there will be Z very active rivalry between
the President ard his secretary when
they become neighboring farmers.
The family expect to go cut about
May Is, and everything is being put in
readiness for their arrival. They have
six Jersey cows in stock kept there, and
the dairy feature is, perhaps, the most
satisfactory Of any, supplying, as it does,
all the wants of their city household, be-
sides presenting pleasing evil
dences of home industry in
the pots of butter and of jugs Of
cream which they frequently send in to
their friends. There are about hun
bred acres in the farm, and though much
of it is given up to the pasture land and
lawn and flowers there is seme used for
other purposes. The chickens are Mrs.
Whitney's pride. She has about 200
and they are of almost as many
varieties. The poultry yards are in the
shape of 8 semi-circle with the hen
houses in the center and wire fence
surrounds the whole. 1t is worth ones
while to look st them, just to see how
much better it is to be corn-ted chicken
than one of the common kind that lives
on scraps from the kitchen, or has to
skirmish for food on its own hook. The
meekest pullet in all the yard has proud
air of dlstiction and seems to say: "Be-
hold, am l not one of the elect, good
for three square meals day, and even il
I die, shall not the head of Uncle Sans
navy devour me?"
! We must leave the pleasant country
place, however, and return to the capital,
| for we have yet 20 see the WashinstGr
home of Mr.. Whitney. That he lives IL
| better style than any of his associates Is
we'll known. Fortunately he can af1OrC

A LATE CONFESSION.
TIE REPENTANCE OF THE SAC0 BANK
THIEF TOO LATE.
His Flight 10 the Old World Amer The RObbry-A
Satisfactory Settlement Made With the
0tieials-The Adventures ofa
Bank Robbsr

HALIFAX, December 2.-Frank Nc
Neely, the Saco Bank thief, has made .
statement as TO how he robbed the bank
and where he has been since the robbery.
He SAYS the idea OF taking the bonds and
money first entered his head On Au-
gust q, the day he fled. He
slipped the bonds into his pocket
and also took $500 in cash. He
took train for Vermont the same afternoon
and claims that two hours after he left he
would have given the whole world il he
could have been back in Saco and replaced
the bonds in the bank before the next
morning. 1t WAS impossible, however, to
return iu time.
From Vermont he went to Montreal,
thence 10 Quebec, and sailed for England
September ID. He spent several months
in England, then went to Paris and
shortly afterwsrd TO Egypt lie did
not touch the bonds after he hrst
placed them in his trunk. From Cairo
he wrote the bank officials, confessing his
guilt and offering to restore the bonds.
After receiving q reply he sent the bonds
10 the bank direct from Cairo. After that
time the bank officials knew Of his move
ments, and his going to Halifax was with
their approval. Every thing has been set
tied and the bank will not lose dollar.
When the Grand Jury meets in January
the indictmen. against him will b.
quashed and McNeely will return home.
He was simply awaiting for that in Halifax,
when, without authority OF the bank, he
was arrested. His brother Harry ays he
will get n situation in Saco the moment
he arrives.

had insisted upon the peremptOry discharge
of the committee who first waited on him
with reference to the Port Richmond
